    A few weeks ago I must have bumped my elbow while building a 2x4 framework with 4x8 sheets of OSB for model railroad benchwork.

    Then a lemon-sized sac grew on the back of my elbow. It wasn't painful at all, and felt like a balloon full of water.

    I went to the Doc and had it drained a couple days ago, and it's still there, only greatly reduced in size.

    That's all.....

    Did the doc tell you it was bursitis? Sounds like maybe a ruptured bursa, which probably will heal over time, but my be painful.

    Yes, Dr. Lee said it was Bursitis, and she has treated many cases.

    I can probe around the area vigorously and there is absolutely no discomfort!
